Well I got the Corvette going again Main Belt still chirping new Harmonic Balancer (a Dorman Product) complete junk wobbling and belt is chirping/squealing mildly.
AC and heat works good after repairs.

Got new Door skins for VW and installed them still need to install new bumper cover after Blow out on left rear tore my original off.

Went to Doc last week about my shoulder got Cortisone shot been going to therapy in between care of wife but its not getting better.
Wife doing better she keeps pushing herself I have to keep telling her to give it time its not gonna get better over night nerves take time too heal.
She has a Lot of shooting pain down her legs doesn't seam to be getting better.

Really shouldn't have pain shooting down her legs after the surgery. Shouldn't be anything hitting the nerves. Sure hope that changes.

I moved the ebrake handle from underneath to mounted on top. Nothing much to it but the aluminum trim ring doesn't fit this way. Can't say I'm very impressed with the Lokar folks, they didn't think this through at all. So I went and bought a piece of 1/4" aluminum to make another larger trim ring. Just another stupid thing to do that could be avoided if the manufacturer cared about their products.

I personally have never been very happy with most After market parts and avoid most of them when at all possible. especially products like Lockar BUT I get it originals are not available so what do you do ? I cant get a New dip stick for the Vett my only alternative is a product such as Lockar and make due with it.

I played with one of those Fancy Belt pully & Bracket kits a while back and none of it aligned up correctly! I called the company tech line and was told to shim every thing as necessary with washers! I told them make a better product !

Unfortunately everything is aftermarket repop stuff. You can get original if you look but it's just as old as your piece of junk so not much point unless you find NOS stuff which costs a fortune.
I've never been a fan of the umbrella handle ebrake coming out from under your dash so I went with the Lokar console mount. It's a universal fit which means it doesn't fit anything most likely. If they made the opening on the trim ring 3/8" longer it would be perfect. You would think someone there would have thought about that. Just jacking up the car it hit the driveshaft when it was mounted underneath.
Went to a big swapmeet in Washington on the weekend, 1st time in 3 years because of COVID. Didn't find much but great to go there again.

Maybe you can order a custom made unit?

I don't think they make one. Not a big deal, just have to make a new trim ring and hope the leather bag thing is big enough to fit under a longer trim piece. I've been busy with other things but I'll get to it soon.

I made a new trim ring, about 1/2" longer so it fits. Managed to get the leather tucked under it. All in all it looks pretty good. While the original is a wee bit nicer I doubt anyone would notice the difference.

Looks good! Looks like ones I have seen in Cobra's.

Wife doing better, But other serious personal problems going on I don't care to mention online.

I did figure out last 2 problems with the BMW and fixed the Directional Headlight which was causing a light on the dashboard was caused by a bad Module BMW wanted $750 for it I got one online used for $40 and it fixed it!.
I Also found that the cause for current check engine light was caused by the 1st right side O2 sensor, I was gonna change it but found the wire was pinched I got it UN-pinched and properly routed now All warning messages with the car are now gone! so I am very happy about that. Still need to take it out on a long drive to make sure it stays gone but I am fairly confident that I found problem. Now that its all fixed I am gonna sell it.

I am gonna play with my Ford f250 Truck today it's needed some love for a long time, The Fuel tank fuel selector valve has been inop for a long time as they have been unavailable I recently found one on line and am gonna try to get it back in latter today.
Hopefully it works that still leaves fixing the AC system, interior repairs (needs seat & headliner) plus Painting it.

I got all the body parts for my VW 2 new door skins and a new Bumper cover for the rear after the tire fiasco, their all on now car sits in 4 different colors now it needs paint embarrassing to drive BUT No dents or tore up plastic! It also still has an electrical gremlin that purists which kills my battery overnight that I haven't been successful at finding as of yet still working that one off and on I think its the door wire harness which are no longer available I found out. their a a few other things it could be as well also with the rear doors. unfortunately its a pain to open those door panels I need to devote some time to tear it all apart before paint.

The Vett still has a Belt issue I got it down to a weird chirping sound like it has Squirrels under the hood. I am convinced its caused by cheap Dorman Harmonic ballancer I installed a while back as it wobbles a little it also still has the O2 sensor problem I'm on third set of O2 sensors stays gone for a week or two then comes back with each set so no help need to take it to that Tunner guy. BUT I got the AC working right! what a Night mare that was! Its drive able and not all that bad of a chirp lol

Should get a good buck for the BMW with all the issues taken care of. A multi colored VW is a lot better than a busted up one.

We finally had some semi decent weather so I had to do some yard clean-up. Lots of trees down with the winter storms, had to rebuild a shed that got hit by a tree.

I did get the seats and steering wheel in the Mustang. Can't remember the last time it had a steering wheel. Next up is the exhaust, wish I had a hoist for that. Not a lot of room underneath even with the 2x4 stands I made

Started on the exhaust and immediately hit a snag. The angle of the H- pipe is at least 10 degrees off from the manifold outlet angle. I'm going to remove the trans mount and lower the trans until the angles line up then bolt the exhaust together and Jack the trans back up. Not sure if that will work, it will probably make the exhaust right tight to the floor which is no good. If that doesn't work I guess I'll cut a wedge out of each side of the H- pipe and weld it back. It sucks that nothing ever fits as it should.
